It’s said that inspiration is a temporary thing.
We’re incapable of being or feeling “inspired” every hour of every single day. Daily life fills up with appointments, obligations, family time, work time, dog walking, cable company phone calls, internet surfing, social media posting.
Before we know it a day has become a week, a week has become a month, and then boom, you’re 42, married with three kids.
Life comes at you fast.
Below are 20 quotes to help you jump start your inspiration and refocus on your goals!

Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you.
